Family Violence Act 2018

If an agency makes a direction in respect of a public register and any relevant information, and while that direction remains in force, subsections (2) to (4) apply.

The relevant information must not be included in any of the following that is made available to the public after the direction is made:

The relevant information must not be made available for inspection by members of the public (other than the person to whom the relevant information relates) who wish to inspect the register or any index to the register.

An application made, by or in relation to the person to whom the relevant information relates, for the inclusion of any information on the public register, to the extent that the application contains relevant information relating to that person, must not be made available for inspection by members of the public (other than the person to whom the relevant information relates).

However, the relevant information is, for all other purposes, deemed to be included on the public register.

Subsections (2) to (4) apply despite any other enactment, but subject to section 243 and any regulations made under this Act.

In subsections (2) to (4), relevant information means only any relevant information relating to the person to whom the direction relates that the agency concerned is reasonably able to identify, having regard to the information provided by the applicant for the direction in the applicant’s application under section 231(1).
